The Unlikeliest Duo

Her

With long brown hair

Golden when caught by the sun

A smile that goes miles

That lights up the stage when she performs

Him

With curly black hair

Glasses

Brown eyes

Hard to reach

But not quite impossible

Hard to talk to

But listens well.

They didn't meet

Because they chose to.

They didn't need each other

Until they met each other

And then

Suddenly

They could not survive

By themselves

On their own

Because

Of 

Destiny

Or was it?

Was it really destiny?

Or was it 

Scrambled dice

Rolled around

Or a cat

Whacking a yarn ball

And it wasn't meant to happen at all?

Regardless

It HAPPENED

They met

Anyway

And they became

A duo

Just

Like

That

    And then there were two, 

    Sitting on a bench by the bus stop.

    Waiting.

    Watching.

    Two kids - teenagers - then young adults.

    On different sides of the same story.

    Growing up isn't something you enjoy

    Unless you're, like,

    Five,

    And the world is still golden,

    And you can't see

    The hourglass

    And the grains of sand

    Falling
